    <h3>Introduction</h3> 

    <p>This file contains documentation on the Buckwalter Arabic
    Morphological Analyzer Version 1.0,
    Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC) catalog number LDC2002L49 and ISBN
    1-58563-257-0.  
    <p>The Buckwalter Arabic Morphological Analyzer is
    used for POS-tagging Arabic text. 

    <h3>Data</h3>

    <p>There are three lexicon files, three compatibility tables, and
    a perl script included in the data directory of this publication.  The
    three lexicon files are: dictPrefixes, dictStems, and
    dictSuffixes.  The three compatibility tables are: tableAB,
    tableAC and tableBC. The perl script, AraMorph.pl, makes use
    of the three lexicon files and three compatability tables in order
    to perform morphological analysis and POS-tagging of Arabic words.
    For more detailed information about the data, please see the
    original documentation file <a href="doc/readme.txt"
